Old Barriss vs Fourth Sister | Star Wars Tales of the Empire | Episode 6 | Disney+ 

Also reminds me of Ahsoka’s fight with the Inquisitor in the last episode of Tales of the Jedi, especially when Barriss easily turns off her lightsaber.

I’d imagine none of the Inquisitors are 100% content with the work of hunting the Jedi, most joined by force, would def play a factor in their performance. Just as post-JS Cal admitted he wouldn’t have been able to beat 2nd Sister were she not conflicted in the end, and he also lost to 5th Brother in Battle Scars (who was not conflicted). Again with 4th Sister vs Barriss, in the end, the conflict returned both to the light.

I mean keep in mind that many of Inquisitors are padawans or younglings forced to be Inquisitors. So while they did grow stronger thanks to the dark side, they are still relatively weak against experienced jedi's

cause they only trained how to fight, they don't really have proper force training, especially not on the dark side

The inquisitors are just sith stormtroopers

The Emperor never intended for the Inquisitors to be strong. They were just a divide and conquer strategy.

So, Barriss is a hypocrite unless she has remorse for turning against Ashoka.

I’m sure she has remorse for all of it, and she’s aware she can’t undo the damage she’s done, so all she can do is help those in need at her time from the Jedi Lyn attacked to the infant Lyn is after

Tbh as an ahsoka/anikan fan bariss is irredeemable to me, betrayal is considered one of the worst transgressions even for no spiritual non religious people. Bariss literally setting up ahsoka, and contributing to animals fall is still her worst crime to date. Her being forced into the empire was her punishment, which she escaped by turning "back to the light" Now this is great writing when two people from the same fandom can have different but accurate interpretations of the same series of events.

​@@Abandonsoyciety So let me get this straight to you Anakin is redeemable but not bariss? " Betrayal this and that " right because Anakin didn't and you can't say he hasn't done far worse than bariss. Everyone is redeemable if they choose it. However your right on one thing and that is punishment will be there.

She should had been off'ed by Vader, it was the natural way for him to finish what he started years ago. Throw bit of force choke for kudos point.

Maybe her species age slower.

Species age differently (IG-11)

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural

It's probably because Barris had to live with the guilt of everything she has done for years, this caused her to age faster.

It may be because she’s always in the cold now, it makes her wrinkles more prominent

I wonder if they're saving that for Ahsoka Season 2, similar to how Cad Bane returning in The Bad Batch Season 1 happened shortly before his live-action appearance in Book of Boba.

@@SarcyBoi41 star wars has been redeeming alot of characters lately i wonder why cuz bariss does not deserve redemption imo aftr hat she did to ahsoka

@@nicholasbloom1 Nah, of all the characters that deserve redemption, Barriss is at the top of the list. She was never evil.

​@nicholasbloom1 Anakin got redemption, and he did far worse, then what barriss had done.

@@SarcyBoi41 Tbh, I would’ve preferred if the third episode of Barriss’ arc, began with her crossing paths with Ahsoka. From there, the two have a long conversation, with Ahsoka offering Barriss to stay for a bit. The latter however refuses the offer, believing she doesn’t deserve it and goes into exile, but not before being given a ship and a set of coordinates if she changes her mind

Are you telling me Luke skywalker pulled a baris offee to defeat his nephew with anger management and daddy issues

Fr and it looked so clean and elegant, like Dooku used to do. Thought of him immediately from the moment she first folded her arms behind her back

Honestly what else is new about the inquisitors? Only the 2nd sister and to an extent Grand Inquisitor ever felt threatening

She held up to Anakin in his prime for a few minutes, this is nothing by comparison

Reminds me of Ahsoka in the last episode of Tales of the Jedi against the Inquisitor

It could be possible that this scene could takes place after Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

@@DigiPen92 It definitely takes place after the Obi-Wan series--not only does Barriss appear significantly older than a mere 9 years after Order 66, but also the ending seemed to portray that she brought the 4th Sister back to the light (so it would make no sense that, after this, the 4th Sister would have simply gone back to the Empire in Obi-Wan).

Yeah I was thinking the same thing I always thought that look was cool

She became what the jedi should have been

shes not ended

I was thinking the same thing. Healing someone with the Force comes at the expense of the wielder’s vitality

Right on the money; people just can't get visual clues anymore lmao.

@@darylsdesigns6679 I'd imagine guilt would have driven her to use it a bunch and with no regard for her own health.

Giving one’s life for the sake of others is the Jedi way

I was very much reminded of how Obi Wan looked when we first saw him in ANH. It had only been 19 years since the Empire rose from the ashes of the Galactic Republic, and yet Obi Wan Kenobi, one of the greatest of the Jedi, had somehow aged from a fit and healthy man in his prime into a wizened elder. If Obi Wan aged so quickly in the 19 years the Empire had stood, why couldn't Barris also age more quickly than is normal? Even their respective fights give me similar vibes. As soon as Maul realized that Obi Wan was protecting someone on Tattooine and taunted him with that information, Obi Wan pulled out his lightsaber, and then taunted Maul by adopting the same lightsaber form that Qui Gon Jinn used, allowing Obi Wan to end the fight, and Maul, in three moves. Barris' method here was much more pacifist, but she used her opponent's anger to her advantage and was able to dodge the Fourth Sister's lightsaber with ease, keeping her arms behind her back and even taunting her by pointing out how her anger makes her attacks very easy to predict. I really hope we get to see Barris appear in Ahsoka. Her story doesn't seem to be over yet.

She isn’t really that much of a threat nor anything of importance, so it honestly makes sense that no one went after or tried to hunt her down, I mean yoda went ghost for awhile after the events of order 66, and even he wasn’t of great importance despite being the grand master of the Jedi Order

is the cold

Fr girl aged like fine milk

Probably the result of using Force Healing way more and often than it would be safe to do so, perhaps out of guilt.

@@el_TAM_YT That's actually a very sensible inference to make. I like that explanation and must admit, completely didn't occur to me.

The exile was hard on her. Same as Kenobi, who also aged like milk

Yeah thats kinda the point. To true Jedi these guys are like kids

Her fate left unclosed just like 10 yrs ago

@@Gufupandi09th13 maybe she will show up in ahsoka series, if she died then how did they both came out of that maze? inquistor isn't capable of navigating so that leaves only barris and for that she has to be alive

@@anirudhreddy7671 true and to show us that she kill clone troopers during order 66 just to save the Jedi temple from burning

​@@anirudhreddy7671 maybe the other Inquisitors captured her

​@@anirudhreddy7671Also Barris trained as a healer for years, sooo Force healing??

Maybe all of that is being saved for an Animated series about The Hidden Path, and Barriss Offee's connection with it?

Rebels already showed that Luminara was captured and killed not long after Order 66.

Ojalá no digno final, ya sabemos quien asesinó a la cuarta así que Barris se cerró al fin su arco, en la secuelas la elegida rey nomás debe sobrevivir

Unfortunately..

Ashoka fate was similar in Rebels when she walked into a cave after losing to Vader.... Bariss was merely carried out when... she'll live

me too

@@Westwoodchronicimo it was more like a tie

Except she says “after the child, I’m coming back for you”.

@@jackreynolds2144I know that but that was after when she intervened I think.

​@jackreynolds2144 that was after Barriss got in the way

It's not that she was willing to let Barris go, but she definitely wasn't there looking for Barris. Her mission was just to collect the child. Finding Barris was just a lucky, or unlucky, coincidence.

Years as a healer really grew her up

It wasn't? I mean I haven't gone down the review rabbit hole, but I've mostly heard positive things

No

yea i agree luminara sucks

Yeah ikr, I thought the episode was post-ROTJ when I saw how old she was. I was expecting Kylo Ren or something, not the 4th Sister. The time jump couldn’t have been more than like 15 years

How you know that her species live for centuries

Don’t you think that joining the dark side of the force. one of the side effects is premature aging.

Maybe it’s not her aging but her simply being in exile in such harsh conditions.

@@XenoRaptor-98765 She didn’t really join the dark side lol. Physical degradation only occurs after years and years of heavy use of the dark side, not just half turning dark for like a year.

Probably from the stress.

Annnnd it all sucks!

@@NoahHunterGamble boooooomer

I mean we must remember maul was cut into two and miraculously survived, 😂 the shenanigans of individuals surviving grievous wounds has been around for a while in the franchise

_"Sometimes dead is better"_ - Pet Cemetery

Lightsaber stabs are notoriously slight wounds. 😂

​​@@tmdblyaQui Gon: Morgan Elsebeth:

She's not dead

I dont think she died. We've seen many people who have survived stabs. Grand inquisitor, reva, cal kestis, Sabine, etc

unlikely, but a nice concept

That would mean Ezra, along with the others, would have to go back to the other galaxy again. That seems unlikely imo

Lyn x Barriss 🙌🏽🙌🏽

She was a healer during 10 years. Using Force-healing takes a toll, apparently.

Barris is though

​@@jackreynolds2144nope

@@Xxbdc99xX what exactly makes you think she is alive? I mean we saw her die.

@@jackreynolds2144 sabine survived barriss is a healer she can heal herself

@@ObeseMommy first of all Sabine was stabbed toward the side of her torso so there were not a lot of vital organs there. Barriss was stabbed in a very lethal area, and we have already seen how much more effective lightsabers are in animation. Second we see her die, like she stops breathing and everything.

lol no

her name is Lynn

If they were too much better that could risk them becoming full on sith

I'd say the most threatening and competent Inquisitor was probably the Second Sister. But honestly, if they got actually powerful Inquisitors, they'd end up becoming threats. And the Sith don't like competition.

@@Spiralpaladin that’s true

Not quite it left unopened

This is her fate

She’s not dead.

Well she's not dead

I'm willing to bet they did met already, and the old friend she mentions on the episode Is actually Ahsoka

Because some time has certainly passed since the last meeting:)

you're not the smartest, right?

@@jondumas7723 sry that i offended your star wars knowledge lmao

@@LitBenchpress It's not star wars knowledge, it's common sense.

@@jondumas7723 just didnt make sense for me that bariss looks so old and fourth sister looks Same. Maybe try to think before commenting such stupid comments. Thats common sense

When she betrayed the Jedi, she did so out of the conviction that the Jedi only followed the Senate and were not doing justice to their role as peacekeepers. From her point of view, her actions were justified because she saw that the Jedi Council was not doing justice to its task.

@@andreostwald2605 Right I understand your point ✅

So Anakin butchering younglings and countless others when he rise as Darth Vader gets a pass but not Bariss that found her way back to the Light? Hahahaha

Different species age differently. Barris's species live for centuries so she shouldnt have physically aged this much in such a short time. But one possible explanation is that she is a healer. That means she has to use her own vitality to heal others. We don't know for sure, but it could be physically aging her everytime she heals someone.

Most of the time we see her she’s a teen so it makes it distinct
